The 4-, 8-, and 16-Mbit byte-wide FlashFile memories provide high-density, low-cost, nonvolatile, read/write storage solutions for a wide range of applications. Their symmetrically-blocked architecture, flexible voltage, and extended cycling provide highly flexible components suitable for resident flash arrays, SIMMs, and memory cards. Enhanced suspend capabilities provide an ideal solution for code or data storage applications. For secure code storage applications, such as networking, where code is either directly executed out of flash or downloaded to DRAM, the 4-, 8-, and 16-Mbit FlashFile memories offer three levels of protection: absolute protection with VPP at GND, selective hardware block locking, or flexible software block locking. These alternatives give designers ultimate control of their code security needs. This family of products is manufactured on Intel’s 0.4 µm ETOX™ V process technology. They come in industry-standard packages: the 40-lead TSOP, ideal for board-constrained applications, and the rugged 44-lead PSOP. Based on the 28F008SA architecture, the byte-wide SmartVoltage FlashFile memory family enables quick and easy upgrades for designs that demand state-of-the-art technology.

Description -003 4 PRELIMINARY E 1.0 1.1 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY INTRODUCTION 1.2 Product Overview This datasheet contains 4-, 8-, and 16-Mbit SmartVoltage FlashFile memory specifications. Section 1.0 provides a flash memory overview. Sections 2.0, through 5.0 describe the memory organization and functionality. Section 6.0 covers electrical specifications for commercial and extended temperature product offerings. Section 7.0 contains ordering information. Finally, the bytewide SmartVoltage FlashFile memory family documentation also includes application notes and design tools which are referenced in Section 8.0. The byte-wide SmartVoltage FlashFile memory family provides density upgrades with pinout compatibility for the 4-, 8-, and 16-Mbit densities. The 28F004SC, 28F008SC, and 28F016SC are high-performance memories arranged as 512 Kbyte, 1 Mbyte, and 2 Mbyte of 8 bits. This data is grouped in eight, sixteen, and thirty-two 64-Kbyte blocks which are individually erasable, lockable, and unlockable in-system. Figure 4 illustrates the memory organization. SmartVoltage technology enables fast factory programming and low-power designs. These components support read operations at 2.7 V (readonly), 3.3 V, and 5 V VCC and block erase and program operations at 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V VPP. The 12 V VPP option renders the fastest program and erase performance which will increase your factory throughput. With the 3.3 V and 5 V VPP option, VCC and VPP can be tied together for a simple and voltage flexible design. This voltage flexibility is key for removable media that need to operate in a 3 V to 5 V system. In addition, the dedicated VPP pin gives complete data protection when VPP ≤ VPPLK. Table 1. SmartVoltage Flash VCC and VPP Voltage Combinations VCC Voltage 2.7 V(1) 3.3 V 5V VPP Voltage  3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V 5 V, 12 V New Features The byte-wide SmartVoltage FlashFile memory family maintains backwards-compatibility with Intel’s 28F008SA and 28F008SA-L. Key enhancements include: • • • SmartVoltage Technology Enhanced Suspend Capabilities In-System Block Locking They share a compatible status register, software commands, and pinouts. These similarities enable a clean upgrade from the 28F008SA and 28F008SA-L to byte-wide SmartVoltage FlashFile products. When upgrading, it is important to note the following differences: • Because of new feature and density options, the devices have different device identifier codes. This allows for software optimization. VPPLK has been lowered from 6.5 V to 1.5 V to support low VPP voltages during block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration operations. Designs that switch VPP off during read operations should transition VPP to GND. To take advantage of SmartVoltage technology, allow VPP connection to 3.3 V or 5 V. • NOTE: 1. Block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration operation with VCC, 3.0 V are not supported. • Internal VCC and VPP detection circuitry automatically configures the device for optimum performance. A Command User Interface (CUI) serves as the interface between the system processor and internal operation of the device. A valid command sequence written to the CUI initiates device automation. An internal Write State Machine (WSM) automatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration operations. For more details see application note AP-625, 28F008SC Compatibility with 28F008SA (order number 292180). PRELIMINARY 5 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY A block erase operation erases one of the device’s 64-Kbyte blocks typically within 1 second (5 V VCC, 12 V VPP), independent of other blocks. Each block can be independently erased 100,000 times (1.6 million block erases per device). A block erase suspend operation allows system software to suspend block erase to read data from or write data to any other block. Data is programmed in byte increments typically within 6 µs (5 V VCC, 12 V VPP). A program suspend operation permits system software to read data or execute code from any other flash memory array location. To protect programmed data, each block can be locked. This block locking mechanism uses a combination of bits, block lock-bits and a master lock-bit, to lock and unlock individual blocks. The block lock-bits gate block erase and program operations, while the master lock-bit gates block lock-bit configuration operations. Lock-bit configuration operations (Set Block Lock-Bit, Set Master Lock-Bit, and Clear Block Lock-Bits commands) set and clear lock-bits. The status register and RY/BY# output indicate whether or not the device is busy executing or ready for a new command. Polling the status register, system software retrieves WSM feedback. The RY/BY# output gives an additional indicator of WSM activity by providing a hardware status signal. Like the status register, RY/BY#-low indicates that the WSM is performing a block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration operation. RY/BY#-high indicates that the WSM is ready for a new command, block erase is suspended (and program is inactive), program is suspended, or the device is in deep power-down mode. The Automatic Power Savings (APS) feature substantially reduces active current when the device is in static mode (addresses not switching). In APS mode, the typical ICCR current is 1 mA at 5 V VCC. When CE# and RP# pins are at VCC, the component enters a CMOS standby mode. Driving RP# to GND enables a deep power-down mode which significantly reduces power consumption, provides write protection, resets the device, and clears the status register. A reset time (tPHQV) is required from RP# switching high until outputs are valid. Likewise, the device has a wake time (tPHEL) from RP#-high until writes to the CUI are recognized. E 1.3 Pinout and Pin Description The family of devices is available in 40-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package, 1.2 mm thick) and 44-lead PSOP (Plastic Small Outline Package) and 40-bump µBGA* CSP (28F008SC and 28F016SC only).

RESET/DEEP POWER-DOWN: When driven low, RP# inhibits write operations which provides data protection during power transitions, puts the device in deep power-down mode, and resets internal automation. RP#-high enables normal operation. Exit from deep power-down sets the device to read array mode. RP# at VHH enables setting of the master lock-bit and enables configuration of block lock-bits when the master lock-bit is set. RP# = V HH overrides block lock-bits, thereby enabling block erase and program operations to locked memory blocks. Block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration with V IH < RP# < VHH produce spurious results and should not be attempted. OE# INPUT OUTPUT ENABLE: Gates the device’s outputs during a read cycle.

It allows for: 100% TTL-level control inputs, fixed power supplies during block erasure, program, and lock-bit configuration, and minimal processor overhead with RAM-like interface timings. After initial device power-up or return from deep power-down mode (see Bus Operations), the device defaults to read array mode. Manipulation of external memory control pins allow array read, standby, and output disable operations. Status register and identifier codes can be accessed through the CUI independent of the VPP voltage. High voltage on VPP enables successful block erasure, program, and lock-bit configuration. All functions associated with altering memory contents—block erase, program, lock-bit configuration, status, and identifier codes—are accessed via the CUI and verified through the status register. Commands are written using standard microprocessor write timings. The CUI contents serve as input to the WSM that controls block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration operations. The internal algorithms are regulated by the WSM, including pulse repetition, internal verification, and margining of data. Addresses and data are internally latched during write cycles. Writing the appropriate command outputs array data, accesses the identifier codes, or outputs status register data. Interface software that initiates and polls progress of block erase, program, and lock-bit configuration can be stored in any block. This code is copied to and executed from system RAM during flash memory updates. After successful completion, reads are again possible via the Read Array command. Block erase suspend allows system software to suspend a block erase to read or write data from any other block. Program suspend allows system software to suspend a program to read data from any other flash memory array location. 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 16-Mbit 0F0000 0EFFFF 0E0000 0DFFFF 0D0000 0CFFFF 0C0000 0BFFFF 0B0000 0AFFFF 0A0000 09FFFF 090000 08FFFF 080000 07FFFF 070000 06FFFF 060000 05FFFF 050000 04FFFF 040000 03FFFF 030000 02FFFF 020000 01FFFF 010000 00FFFF 000000 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 8-Mbit 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 64-Kbyte Block 4-Mbit Figure 5. Memory Map 12 PRELIMINARY E 2.1 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY Data Protection 3.2 Output Disable Depending on the application, the system designer may choose to make the VPP power supply switchable (available only when memory block erases, programs, or lock-bit configurations are required) or hardwired to VPPH1/2/3. The device accommodates either design practice and encourages optimization of the processor-memory interface. When VPP ≤ VPPLK, memory contents cannot be altered. When high voltage is applied to VPP, the two-step block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration command sequences provides protection from unwanted operations. All write functions are disabled when VCC voltage is below the write lockout voltage VLKO or when RP# is at VIL. The device’s block locking capability provides additional protection from inadvertent code or data alteration by gating erase and program operations. With OE# at a logic-high level (VIH), the device outputs are disabled. Output pins DQ0–DQ7 are placed in a high-impedance state. 3.3 Standby CE# at a logic-high level (VIH) places the device in standby mode which substantially reduces device power consumption. DQ0–DQ7 outputs are placed in a high-impedance state independent of OE#. If deselected during block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration, the device continues functioning and consuming active power until the operation completes. 3.4 Deep Power-Down RP# at VIL initiates the deep power-down mode. 3.0 BUS OPERATION The local CPU reads and writes flash memory in-system. All bus cycles to or from the flash memory conform to standard microprocessor bus cycles. 3.1 Read In read mode, RP#-low deselects the memory, places output drivers in a high-impedance state, and turns off all internal circuits. RP# must be held low for time tPLPH. Time tPHQV is required after return from power-down until initial memory access outputs are valid. After this wake-up interval, normal operation is restored. The CUI resets to read array mode, and the status register is set to 80H. During block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration, RP#-low will abort the operation. RY/BY# remains low until the reset operation is complete. Memory contents being altered are no longer valid; the data may be partially erased or written. Time tPHWL is required after RP# goes to logic-high (VIH) before another command can be written. As with any automated device, it is important to assert RP# during system reset. When the system comes out of reset, it expects to read from the flash memory. Automated flash memories provide status information when accessed during block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration modes. If a CPU reset occurs with no flash memory reset, proper CPU initialization may not occur because the flash memory may be providing status information instead of array data. Intel’s flash memories allow proper CPU initialization following a system reset through the use of the RP# input. In this application, RP# is controlled by the same RESET# signal that resets the system CPU. 13 Block information, identifier codes, or status register can be read independent of the VPP voltage. RP# can be at either VIH or VHH. The first task is to write the appropriate read-mode command (Read Array, Read Identifier Codes, or Read Status Register) to the CUI. Upon initial device power-up or after exit from deep powerdown mode, the device automatically resets to read array mode. Four control pins dictate the data flow in and out of the component: CE#, OE#, WE#, and RP#. CE# and OE# must be driven active to obtain data at the outputs. CE# is the device selection control, and when active enables the selected memory device. OE# is the data output (DQ0–DQ7) control and when active drives the selected memory data onto the I/O bus. WE# must be at VIH and RP# must be at VIH or VHH. Figure 18 illustrates a read cycle.

Bus operations are defined in Table 3. 2. X = Any valid address within the device. IA = Identifier Code Address: see Figure 6. BA = Address within the block being erased or locked. PA = Address of memory location to be programmed. 3. SRD = Data read from status register. See Table 7 for a description of the status register bits. PD = Data to be programmed at location PA. Data is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE# (whichever goes high first). ID = Data read from identifier codes. 4. Following the Read Identifier Codes command, read operations access manufacturer, device, block lock, and master lock codes. See Section 4.2 for read identifier code data. 5. If the block is locked, RP# must be at VHH to enable block erase or program operations. Attempts to issue a block erase or program to a locked block while RP# is VIH will fail. 6. Either 40H or 10H are recognized by the WSM as the program setup. 7. If the master lock-bit is set, RP# must be at VHH to set a block lock-bit. RP# must be at VHH to set the master lock-bit. If the master lock-bit is not set, a block lock-bit can be set while RP# is VIH. 8. If the master lock-bit is set, RP# must be at VHH to clear block lock-bits. The clear block lock-bits operation simultaneously clears all block lock-bits. If the master lock-bit is not set, the Clear Block Lock-Bits command can be done while RP# is V . IH 9. Commands other than those shown above are reserved by Intel for future device implementations and should not be used. 16 PRELIMINARY E 4.1 4.2 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY Read Array Command 4.3 Read Status Register Command Upon initial device power-up and after exit from deep power-down mode, the device defaults to read array mode. This operation is also initiated by writing the Read Array command. The device remains enabled for reads until another command is written. Once the internal WSM has started a block erase, program or lock-bit configuration, the device will not recognize the Read Array command until the WSM completes its operation unless the WSM is suspended via an Erase Suspend or Program Suspend command. The Read Array command functions independently of the VPP voltage and RP# can be VIH or VHH. Read Identifier Codes Command The status register may be read to determine when a block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration is complete and whether the operation completed successfully. It may be read at any time by writing the Read Status Register command. After writing this command, all subsequent read operations output data from the status register until another valid command is written. The status register contents are latched on the falling edge of OE# or CE#, whichever occurs first. OE# or CE# must toggle to VIH to update the status register latch. The Read Status Register command functions independently of the VPP voltage. RP# can be VIH or VHH. 4.4 The identifier code operation is initiated by writing the Read Identifier Codes command. Following the command write, read cycles from addresses shown in Figure 5 retrieve the manufacturer, device, block lock configuration and master lock configuration codes (see Table 5 for identifier code values). To terminate the operation, write another valid command. Like the Read Array command, the Read Identifier Codes command functions independently of the VPP voltage and RP# can be VIH or VHH. Following the Read Identifier Codes command, the subsequent information can be read. Table 5. Identifier Codes Code Manufacturer Code Address Data 89 A7 A6 AA DQ0 = 0 DQ0 = 1 DQ1–7 DQ0 = 0 DQ0 = 1 DQ1–7 Clear Status Register Command Status register bits SR.5, SR.4, SR.3, and SR.1 are set to “1”s by the WSM and can only be reset by the Clear Status Register command. These bits indicate various failure conditions (see Table 7). By allowing system software to reset these bits, several operations (such as cumulatively erasing or locking multiple blocks or writing several bytes in sequence) may be performed. The status register may be polled to determine if an error occurred during the sequence. To clear the status register, the Clear Status Register command (50H) is written. It functions independently of the applied VPP voltage. RP# can be VIH or VHH. This command is not functional during block erase or program suspend modes. 000000 4 Mbit 000001 Device Code 8 Mbit 000001 16 Mbit 000001 Block Lock Configuration XX0002(1) • Block Is Unlocked • Block Is Locked • Reserved for Future Use Master Lock Configuration 000003 • Device Is Unlocked • Device Is Locked • Reserved for Future Use 4.5 Block Erase Command NOTE: 1. X selects the specific block lock configuration code to be read. See Figure 6 for the Device Identifier Code Memory Map. Erase is executed one block at a time and initiated by a two-cycle command. A block erase setup is written first, followed by a block erase confirm. This command sequence requires appropriate sequencing and an address within the block to be erased (erase changes all block data to FFH). Block preconditioning, erase, and verify are handled internally by the WSM (invisible to the system). After the two-cycle block erase sequence is written, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 67). The CPU can detect block erase completion by analyzing the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7. 17 PRELIMINARY BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY When the block erase is complete, status register bit SR.5 should be checked. If a block erase error is detected, the status register should be cleared before system software attempts corrective actions. The CUI remains in read status register mode until a new command is issued. This two-step command sequence of set-up followed by execution ensures that block contents are not accidentally erased. An invalid Block Erase command sequence will result in both status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to “1.” Also, reliable block erasure can only occur when VCC = VCC2/3 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of this high voltage, block contents are protected against erasure. If block erase is attempted while VPP ≤ VPPLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to “1.” Successful block erase requires that the corresponding block lock-bit be cleared or, if set, that RP# = VHH. If block erase is attempted when the corresponding block lock-bit is set and RP# = VIH, the block erase will fail, and SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to “1.” Block erase operations with VIH < RP# < VHH produce spurious results and should not be attempted. Successful program also requires that the corresponding block lock-bit be cleared or, if set, that RP# = VHH. If program is attempted when the corresponding block lock-bit is set and RP# = VIH, program will fail, and SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to “1.” Program operations with VIH < RP# < VHH produce spurious results and should not be attempted. E 4.7 Block Erase Suspend Command 4.6 Program Command The Block Erase Suspend command allows block-erase interruption to read or write data in another block of memory. Once the block erase process starts, writing the Block Erase Suspend command requests that the WSM suspend the block erase sequence at a predetermined point in the algorithm. The device outputs status register data when read after the Block Erase Suspend command is written. Polling status register bits SR.7 and SR.6 can determine when the block erase operation has been suspended (both will be set to “1”). RY/BY# will also transition to VOH. Specification tWHRH2 defines the block erase suspend latency. At this point, a Read Array command can be written to read data from blocks other than that which is suspended. A Program command sequence can also be issued during erase suspend to program data in other blocks. Using the Program Suspend command (see Section 4.8), a program operation can also be suspended. During a program operation with block erase suspended, status register bit SR.7 will return to “0” and the RY/BY# output will transition to VOL. However, SR.6 will remain “1” to indicate block erase suspend status. The only other valid commands while block erase is suspended are Read Status Register and Block Erase Resume. After a Block Erase Resume command is written to the flash memory, the WSM will continue the block erase process. Status register bits SR.6 and SR.7 will automatically clear and RY/BY# will return to VOL. After the Erase Resume command is written, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 9). VPP must remain at VPPH1/2/3 (the same VPP level used for block erase) while block erase is suspended. RP# must also remain at VIH or VHH (the same RP# level used for block erase). Block erase cannot resume until program operations initiated during block erase suspend have completed. Program is executed by a two-cycle command sequence. Program setup (standard 40H or alternate 10H) is written, followed by a second write that specifies the address and data (latched on the rising edge of WE#). The WSM then takes over, controlling the program and write verify algorithms internally. After the program sequence is written, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 8). The CPU can detect the completion of the program event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin or status register bit SR.7. When program is complete, status register bit SR.4 should be checked. If program error is detected, the status register should be cleared. The internal WSM verify only detects errors for “1”s that do not successfully write to “0”s. The CUI remains in read status register mode until it receives another command. Reliable programs only occurs when VCC = VCC2/3 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of this high voltage, memory contents are protected against programs. If program is attempted while VPP ≤ VPPLK, the operation will fail, and status register bits SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to “1.” 18 PRELIMINARY E 4.8 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY master lock-bit is set, subsequent setting of block lock-bits requires both the Set Block Lock-Bit command and VHH on the RP# pin. See Table 6 for a summary of hardware and software write protection options. Set block lock-bit and master lock-bit are initiated using two-cycle command sequence. The set block or master lock-bit setup along with appropriate block or device address is written followed by either the set block lock-bit confirm (and an address within the block to be locked) or the set master lock-bit confirm (and any device address). The WSM then controls the set lock-bit algorithm. After the sequence is written, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 11). The CPU can detect the completion of the set lock-bit event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin output or status register bit SR.7. When the set lock-bit operation is complete, status register bit SR.4 should be checked. If an error is detected, the status register should be cleared. The CUI will remain in read status register mode until a new command is issued. This two-step sequence of setup followed by execution ensures that lock-bits are not accidentally set. An invalid Set Block or Master Lock-Bit command will result in status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to “1.” Also, reliable operations occur only when VCC = VCC2/3 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. In the absence of this high voltage, lock-bit contents are protected against alteration. A successful set block lock-bit operation requires that the master lock-bit be cleared or, if the master lock-bit is set, that RP# = VHH. If it is attempted with the master lock-bit set and RP# = VIH, the operation will fail, and SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to “1.” A successful set master lock-bit operation requires that RP# = VHH. If it is attempted with RP# = VIH, the operation will fail, and SR.1 and SR.4 will be set to “1.” Set block and master lock-bit operations with VIH < RP# < VHH produce spurious results and should not be attempted. Program Suspend Command The Program Suspend command allows program interruption to read data in other flash memory locations. Once the program process starts, writing the Program Suspend command requests that the WSM suspend the program sequence at a predetermined point in the algorithm. The device continues to output status register data when read after the Program Suspend command is written. Polling status register bits SR.7 and SR.2 can determine when the program operation has been suspended (both will be set to “1”). RY/BY# will also transition to VOH. Specification tWHRH1 defines the program suspend latency. At this point, a Read Array command can be written to read data from locations other than that which is suspended. The only other valid commands while program is suspended are Read Status Register and Program Resume. After Program Resume command is written to the flash memory, the WSM will continue the program process. Status register bits SR.2 and SR.7 will automatically clear and RY/BY# will return to VOL. After the Program Resume command is written, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 10). VPP must remain at VPPH1/2/3 (the same VPP level used for program) while in program suspend mode. RP# must also remain at VIH or VHH (the same RP# level used for program). 4.9 Set Block and Master Lock-Bit Commands A flexible block locking and unlocking scheme is enabled via a combination of block lock-bits and a master lock-bit. The block lock-bits gate program and erase operations while the master lock-bit gates block-lock bit modification. With the master lock-bit not set, individual block lock-bits can be set using the Set Block Lock-Bit command. The Set Master Lock-Bit command, in conjunction with RP# = VHH, sets the master lock-bit. After the PRELIMINARY 19 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY 4.10 Clear Block Lock-Bits Command All set block lock-bits are cleared in parallel via the Clear Block Lock-Bits command. With the master lock-bit not set, block lock-bits can be cleared using only the Clear Block Lock-Bits command. If the master lock-bit is set, clearing block lock-bits requires both the Clear Block Lock-Bits command and VHH on the RP# pin. See Table 6 for a summary of hardware and software write protection options. Clear block lock-bits operation is initiated using a two-cycle command sequence. A clear block lock-bits setup is written first. Then, the device automatically outputs status register data when read (see Figure 12). The CPU can detect completion of the clear block lock-bits event by analyzing the RY/BY# pin output or status register bit SR.7. When the operation is complete, status register bit SR.5 should be checked. If a clear block lock-bit error is detected, the status register should be cleared. The CUI will remain in read status register mode until another command is issued. This two-step sequence of set-up followed by execution ensures that block lock-bits are not accidentally cleared. An invalid Clear Block Lock-Bits command sequence will result in status register bits SR.4 and SR.5 being set to “1.” Also, a reliable clear block lock-bits operation can only occur when VCC = VCC2/3 and VPP = VPPH1/2/3. If a clear block lock-bits operation is attempted while VPP ≤ VPPLK, SR.3 and SR.5 will be set to “1.” In the absence of this high voltage, the block lock-bits content are protected against alteration. A successful clear block lock-bits operation requires that the master lock-bit is not set or, if the master lockbit is set, that RP# = VHH. If it is attempted with the master lock-bit set and RP# = VIH, SR.1 and SR.5 will be set to “1” and the operation will fail. A clear block lock-bits operation with VIH < RP# < VHH produce spurious results and should not be attempted. If a clear block lock-bits operation is aborted due to VPP or VCC transitioning out of valid range or RP# active transition, block lock-bit values are left in an undetermined state. A repeat of clear block lockbits is required to initialize block lock-bit contents to known values. Once the master lock-bit is set, it cannot be cleared. E Table 6.

Clear Block Lock-Bits Flowchart PRELIMINARY 27 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY 5.0 5.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Three-Line Output Control 5.4 VPP Trace on Printed Circuit Boards E Intel provides three control inputs to accommodate multiple memory connections: CE#, OE#, and RP#. Three-line control provides for: a. Lowest possible memory power dissipation. b. Data bus contention avoidance. To use these control inputs efficiently, an address decoder should enable CE# while OE# should be connected to all memory devices and the system’s READ# control line. This assures that only selected memory devices have active outputs while deselected memory devices are in standby mode. RP# should be connected to the system POWERGOOD signal to prevent unintended writes during system power transitions. POWERGOOD should also toggle during system reset. Updating flash memories that reside in the target system requires that the printed circuit board designer pay attention to the VPP power supply trace. The VPP pin supplies the memory cell current for byte writing and block erasing. Use similar trace widths and layout considerations given to the VCC power bus. Adequate VPP supply traces and decoupling will decrease VPP voltage spikes and overshoots. 5.5 VCC, VPP, RP# Transitions 5.2 RY/BY# Hardware Detection RY/BY# is a full CMOS output that provides a hardware method of detecting block erase, program and lock-bit configuration completion. This output can be directly connected to an interrupt input of the system CPU. RY/BY# transitions low when the WSM is busy and returns to VOH when it is finished executing the internal algorithm. During suspend and deep power-down modes, RY/BY# remains at VOH. Block erase, program and lock-bit configuration are not guaranteed if VPP or VCC fall outside of a valid voltage range (VCC2/3 and VPPH1/2/3) or RP# ≠ VIH or VHH. If VPP error is detected, status register bit SR.3 is set to “1” along with SR.4 or SR.5, depending on the attempted operation. If RP# transitions to VIL during block erase, program, or lock-bit configuration, RY/BY# will remain low until the reset operation is complete. Then, the operation will abort and the device will enter deep powerdown. The aborted operation may leave data partially altered. Therefore, the command sequence must be repeated after normal operation is restored. 5.6 Power-Up/Down Protection 5.3 Power Supply Decoupling Flash memory power switching characteristics require careful device decoupling. System designers are interested in three supply current issues: standby current levels, active current levels and transient peaks produced by falling and rising edges of CE# and OE#. Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor selection will suppress transient voltage peaks. Each device should have a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor connected between its VCC and GND and between its VPP and GND. These high-frequency, low-inductance capacitors should be placed as close as possible to package leads. Additionally, for every eight devices, a 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the array’s power supply connection between VCC and GND. The bulk capacitor will overcome voltage slumps caused by PC board trace inductance. 28 The device is designed to offer protection against accidental block erasure, byte writing, or lock-bit configuration during power transitions. Upon powerup, the device is indifferent as to which power supply (VPP or VCC) powers-up first. Internal circuitry resets the CUI to read array mode at power-up. A system designer must guard against spurious writes for VCC voltages above VLKO when VPP is active. Since both WE# and CE# must be low for a command write, driving either input signal to VIH will inhibit writes. The CUI’s two-step command sequence architecture provides an added level of protection against data alteration. In-system block lock and unlock renders additional protection during power-up by prohibiting block erase and program operations. The device is disabled while RP# = VIL regardless of its control inputs state. PRELIMINARY E 5.7 BYTE-WIDE SmartVoltage FlashFile™ MEMORY FAMILY VPP Program and Erase Voltages on Sub-0.4µ SC Memory Family Intel's SmartVoltage FlashFile™ memory family provides in-system program/erase at 3.3 V VPP and 5V VPP as well as faster factory program/erase at 12 V VPP. Future sub-0.4µ lithography SmartVoltage FlashFile memory products will also include a backwardcompatible 12 V programming feature. This mode, however, is not intended for extended use. A 12 V program/erase VPP can be applied for 1000 cycles maximum per block or 80 hours maximum per device. To ensure compatibility with future sub-0.4µ SmartVoltage FlashFile memory products, present designs should not permanently connect VPP to 12 V. This will avoid device over-stressing that may cause permanent damage.
